Small form factor is difficult to handle if you have larger hands
Side button placement makes accidental activation a concern
No 64 bit OS support.
Side Buttons Could Be A Little Less Sensitive
Hi Tech Legion Gold
Small size takes a bit to get accustomed to
Can accidentally hit side buttons until you get accustomed to it
Light (for some)
Not the Best for Large Handed Users (But still better than generic)
Not for the overly thrifty
Advanced programmable features work only with Windows XP/Vista
Placement of extra buttons may be inconvenient for some users
To be clear just becaue I didnt personally enjoy this mouse doesnt at all mean this is a bad mouse. The NZXT Avatar has a good list of features and a great ergonomic feel to it. Sure its light and the inclusion of some weight adjustments wou...

I really liked this mouse it is a great first attempt (as far as I know) at gaming peripherals for NZXT. The design and sleek LED’s make is definitely catch your eye at first glance and the fact it has higher DPI than the first G5’s to come ou...
The NZXT Avatar gaming mouse took a while to get used to on a few fronts. As I have pointed out, I had been used to 800 DPI for a long time with my Microsoft Natural, along with its mediocre 125MHz polling rate. The extra sensitivity the Avatar provi...

Abstract: Oversized Teflon feet on the seven-button Avatar’s underside also help the mouse slide effortlessly over most surfaces. Unfortunately, the nearly symmetrical, elongated design isn’t very comfortable for those with large hands, and the positioning of th...
What NZXT is exceptionally good in is understanding gamers and their needs. They really target at a pretty niche segment of the market. It shows with their variety of product. They ask a lot of feedback from their customers and design the gear with ga...

Overall the NZXT Avatar mouse is a pretty good mouse for NZXTs first attempt at one. The ambidextrous design allows all types of gamers, especially with small hands to feel comfortable with their mouse. I really didnt find anything wrong with the mo...
